Support Veda's Artistic Journey & Cause

**Veda Malyala: A Journey in Dance and Music**

Veda Malyala is a rising sophomore at Woodbridge Academy Magnet School. She began learning Bharatanatyam at the age of eight under the guidance of Guru Smt Premini Thanan. Over the years, Veda has participated in numerous group performances with the Bharatha Arangam Dance Institute, cherishing the cultural connection and creative expression that Bharatanatyam provides. In addition to dance, Veda has cultivated her musical talents, having trained in Tenor Saxophone during her elementary and middle school years. Currently, she is also training in Piano, Veena and Carnatic Classical Vocal music. Her passion for music and art are a significant source of inspiration and motivation.

**A Personal Note from Veda**

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported me on this journey. Performing my Arangetram is a dream come true, and I seek your blessings for this day and for my future endeavors. I could not have achieved this without the help of my guru or the support of both my family and friends. I dedicate my performance to my late paternal and maternal grandfathers, who always made others around them smile. I want to continue spreading their joy and kindness by empowering underprivileged children. In lieu of gifts, please join me in supporting the HELP Foundation's mission to provide basic amenities, education, and healthcare to children in rural India.

HELP Foundation has been supporting Orphan and Destitute children for the past 30 years at 9 centers in India. Foundation awarded 4,500+ times annual sponsorships to the needy children since inception in 1994. The children graduated include engineers, doctors, teachers, and small business owners.
